I had a box of continentals not long ago which I hadn't had for many years. Was great to taste all those classics again. The Alpini, Hazelnut Slice etc
Also the nougat nests are really good. They did a special one over Christmas filled with dried fruits.

Although I thought at first yes great Cadburys returning up yours EU.
On hindsight it may well be costing the British taxpayer in the end.
It is all to common these days that our Governments (Both partys) whoever is in power at the time are allowing these privately owned company's millions in grants to upgrade or build these factorys. I just wonder after the TATA fiasco how much Mondelez have been given in grants and the like.
Reading between the lines I thing Cadburys maybe in the last chance saloon which is why they are moving back.
Sales have probably plummeted because people are buying their chocolate elsewhere and of course the obvious thing is that the chocolate they are making does not taste as good as it did.
To much competition about and they are making far better chocolate.

Twirls are my favourite. I hope this means they will be cheaper and that they stop pretending 11 single bars are a bargain when reduced vs 8 two finger bars.
